San Diego CityBEAT But Reggaeton’ is usually sung, or rapped, in Spanish or a mixture of Spanish and English, as opposed to dancehall’s more familiar Jamaican patois. Latin rap has been pioneered over the last decade by the likes of Kid Frost, Lighter Shade of Brown and Big Punisher. “We decided that [the Latin rap and Reggaeton’ industry] was growing so fast that we needed to have a forum or venue for everybody involved—artists, [record] labels, producers, managers—to get together and basically network and build off each other’s success,” explains Jesse Perez of River Bottom Entertainment. www.sdcitybeat.com /article.php?id=2818   (407 words)

Nando Boom : Nando Boom & The Explotion Band - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect A very satisfying recording in the Spanish-reggae vein -- the music is straightahead dancehall with no surprises, but Nando has a fabulous voice and knows exactly how to work it. He reminds me a lot of the English toasters in style, especially Smiley Culture, and he even does a Spanish-English translation rap like Smiley's "Cockney Translation." A special bonus is a Spanish reggae version of then-Cat Stevens's "Wild World" -- also a fine soca.

Jamaica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jamaica is mainly a blend of African and Anglo-Irish cultures, with influences from the Spanish and Taino cultures, although the Tainos as a people were completely wiped out by the Spanish soon after their arrival in 1494. The musical genres reggae, ska, rocksteady, dub, and, more recently, dancehall, ragga, and ragga jungle all originated in Jamaica. Jamaica slowly gained increasing independence from the United Kingdom, and in 1958 Jamaica became a province in the Federation of the West Indies, a federation between all the British West Indies. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jamaica   (387 words)

Música Reggaetón Reggaeton Music: Tego Calderón Musica Reggaeton Music Maybe because Calderon is king of "reggaeton," a rebellious new style of Latin music composed of rap and dancehall reggae with a Latin twist.

Tego Calderon is just another human being, some human beings don't like to show their dark side, but Tego is sincere and allows people to see both sides of him. www.reggaeton.info /archives/cat_tego_calderon.html   (5244 words)

village voice > music > Tego Calderon by Michael Deibert Equally an acolyte of Tupac Shakur and Ismael Rivera and an avatar of the Spanish dancehall hybrid known as reggaeton, Calderon made inter-island spice that seemed more reflective of current Caribbean cross-pollination than a dozen Buena Vista retreads. When Tego Calderon released El Abayarde, his debut album, last summer, you couldn't walk down a street in any of the city's sizable Puerto Rican or Dominican neighborhoods without hearing the beats of "Pa Que Retozen" or "Loiza" thumping from behind tinted car windows or blasting from the steps of barber shops and bodegas. With his sophomore set, Enemy De Los Guasibiri, Calderon advances the hybrid further, mixing bomba and plena elements with hardcore hip-hop beats. www.villagevoice.com /issues/0410/deibert.php   (202 words)

Mento pioneer Alerth Bedasse and the Night Food controversy - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM Ken Khouri distributed Night Food and we got about £18 for both of us," reminisced the 77-year-old mento pioneer, who used to perform at the corner of Oxford Street and Spanish Town Road in the vicinity of Myers' Drug Store. The lyrical content of dancehall has long been a source of much concern mainly because of its lewdness. Long before the birth of popular music as we now know it today, there was a song recorded by mento pioneer Alerth Bedasse called Night Food that attracted the outrage of the first People's National Party (PNP) government of the late 1950s. www.jamaicaobserver.com /lifestyle/html/20051029T220000-0500_91385_OBS_MENTO_PIONEER_ALERTH_BEDASSE_AND_THE_NIGHT_FOOD_CONTROVERSY_.asp   (922 words)

JR.com: Eliel - El Que Habla Con Las Manos in Music: Reggaeton: All the lyrics are in Spanish, and there are allusions to the polyrhythmic intensity associated with traditional Latin dance forms, but, for the most part, reggaeton bridges the three cultures (Jamaican, Latin American, and North American) in a unique way. EL QUE HABLA CON LAS MANOS (which translates as "the one who speaks with hands") captures a moment in time of a growing Latin movement referred to as "reggaeton." The style puts contemporary Jamaican dancehall and hardcore American hip-hop into a crucible located firmly in Latin America. Eliel's EL QUE HABLA mix brings together some of the artists important to the scene in the 2000s. jr.com /JRProductPage.process?Product_Id=4006543&...   (127 words)

* Dusted Reviews - DJ/rupture * Spanning three languages — English, Spanish, French — Gunpowder was recorded with Arabic and Western musicians in Barcelona and blends pulsating breaks, dancehall, North African music, avant hip-hop, noise, musique concrete, spoken word, ragga and folk. Rupture’s preference and keen ear for a range of choice music (and now guest voices) is still present. Coming off as less the sum of its parts than his mixes, the record isn’t as brash and lacks flow (the grating Eugene Robinson appearance does nothing to help this), but it does continue /rupture’s deeply personal development and his take on the music of varying and disparate cultures. www.dustedmagazine.com /reviews/1876   (341 words)
